    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Bob, I may have missed it, but what kind of boots are they? Very nice.

    Stetson Hemp Stratoliner

    The point about the golfers is very well-taken, and I'll bring it up the master when next we speak. As far as plantation evocations go, I was a little concerned about that when I first started wearing large straws as I live about five blocks from the largest Haitian community here, but I've...

    Black Lambskin Motorcycle jacket sugestions?

    It would be interesting to hear from someone knowledgeable on the subject. The jacket I mentioned above is light as a feather, beautifully grained, and doesn't have a nick or scrape on it, and it's from about 1946. As we saw recently on the Finnish Jackets thread, lambskin was used almost...

    Black Lambskin Motorcycle jacket sugestions?

    I'd sworn off lambskin years ago, but recently Tmitchell of this forum was offering a 1940's either lamb or capeskin in this incredibly cool style, very like a fitted Highwayan with zipped sleeves, irridescent satin lining, and beautifully grained leather. It was so nice my wife grabbed it. You...

    Stetson Hemp Stratoliner

    Eric and Anthony, thanks for the honest and knowledgeable reviews of the Strat. If I were someone just getting interested in hats, there isn't a better place to come than this for objective criticism. Off topic a bit, but I put in an order with Art Fawcett for a Gambler-style Milan, and I'm...

    Vintage Silhouettes Custom Hats - Official Affiliate Thread

    The next time someone asks me where I got my hat, I can tell them,"From the only guy that makes 'em." Yeah, I don't know why, but that sounds cool as hell.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I received a call from Shane at PB Hats this morning who apologized for the confusion, has received my hat, is reworking it today, and sending it back to me by tomorrow at the latest. Decent guy. I really can't wait to see that brown hemp with the dark green ribbon again.

    Arrived - Aero LHB - Cordovan CXL Steerhide!

    You must surely remember those wonderful irridescent clothes of the late "50's and early '60's? Jerry Lewis's suits in the Nutty Professor when he turns into the cool guy? Anyway, that jacket looks great on you, and I think you'll find it to be one of the most useful jackets you've ever owned...

    Seattle Woolen Company-Sport Togs Leather Jacket

    Terry, this is how you got me the last time. No, I won't look. I won't.

    Panama Hats Direct

    Mystic - I thought there was something sleazy about their website, and everything I've seen about them seems to bear out my initial impression. Decency and consideration are still out there, but you just have to look around a little. This kind of angry ranting at potential customers is new to...

    I just put in an order for the Gambler in Milan natural. Man, this is fun! Can't wait.

    Hi, Art, I just PM'd you. What do you think of the Gambler idea?

    Optimizing the fit of my Aero Sheene

    You can get a pair of Wrangler Cowboy Cuts from Shepler's for about $25.00. Nice, fairly high rise on them, and they're well-made.

    A New Schott Model: The 603USA Cafecto

    I still don't understand how Schott, the biggest manufacturer of OTR, non-mall jackets (sort-of) can run out of certain sizes and models and not offer certain models in the US and EU. Also, given the fit problems we see here all the time, I have to wonder how anyone can order from them at all...

    A porkpie's a great idea. Along similar lines, Sunbody has a Gambler that's a cool style and that'd make a killer Milan. Hmmm.

    Happy Straw Hat Day

    Foamy - I think I know where you're coming from about the Panamas. Right now I'm trying to decide between a semi-colado and another VS Milan. One of the problems I have with the BB Panamas is that I can't see spending that kind of money for a hat that looks, from a few feet away, exactly like...

    BTW, there's a very informative article about Milan straw on page 15 of this thread.

    Vintage Silhouettes Custom Hats - Official Affiliate Thread

    I just PM'd Art about a new Milan and am a little undecided about the style. Any suggestions from you guys? I'm thinking about the style of DJH's Duelist on page 18 of this thread, but I'm open to suggestions.
